Regenerating the Market: Direct-to-consumer models connecting farmers and families

Tannis Axten | Rachel Lightfoot | Sheena Russell | Isabelle Marquis2024-01-17

In this webinar, we explored how to localize supply chains and improve transparency to create more regenerative, regionally-rooted food systems. You will hear from two farmers and a food industry entrepreneur who are actively working to implement new approaches in their communities: grain farmer Tannis Axten from Axten Farms, wine producer Rachel Lightfoot from Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards, and Sheena Russell, founder of Made with Local snack company. The discussion was facilitated by Communication and Food Innovation Strategist Isabelle Marquis, RD.

This webinar is the third in a 6-part webinar series, running from November 2023 to March 2024, as part of the Stories of Regeneration campaign. The campaign aims to enhance public awareness around regenerative agriculture practices and how farmers contribute to combating climate change and food systems issues.
